A craft beer bar where the bartender knows nothing about beer is quite the craft bar. Couldn't tell us one IPA on hand that wasn't overly citrusy. Had us try one it was pure citrus. They have almost none of the beers on the menu so we were reliant on the bartender for descriptions. Ordered a burger. Not asked temperature so it of course came out well done. With how thin the meat patty is I don't think you could cook it either way. Fries were good. read more

This little place is perfect beer and fresh food. Clean eats honest service and nice variety of drinks. The Kale salad is delicious and is generously portioned. We started with Hummus, fresh carrots and pita it has a little olive tapenade to add to the flavor. Great way to start. We also had a chicken sandwich with avocado onions and other good things added Very simple but delicious. They've been here 5 years and hopefully will be here for another 5 ! Good place to start your evening ... read more

What a little gem. Comfy and cozy with a warm vibe. After a day of working in the yard, was too tired to cook so checked out Craft Kitchen. My husband had a yummy Side Hustle Pilsner. We shared a life-altering appetizer of dates stuffed with Boursin cheese served on a bed of bacon-laden arugula. I had a fantastic cous-cous Mediterranean arugula salad with chicken and took half home for tomorrow's lunch. The fried chicken breast was crunchy, not greasy. Mike devoured his single smash burger and killer fries. Friendly and efficient service by Michael, too. Definitely going to bring friends. Just hope to score a table! read more

Craft Kitchen - Dates stuffed with Boursin cheese, yum! - Gastropubs Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Our server, Karla, was attentive helpful and overall fantastic on a busy Saturday afternoon. She made our little one feel important too. Our group of 5 adults and one 3 year old enjoyed the casual atmosphere. Clean, new and nicely decorated with TVs featuring sports events and family fun programs. There is a huge offering of craft beer on tap and in cans/ bottles. An exceptionally wide choice of tasty N/A beers. I recommend the Fat Orange Cat Free Kittens N/A. The kitchen kept orders moving through the restaurant. Our whole group enjoyed our food and drink choices. Smash Burger - not shown -beautifully done read more

Best gastropub anywhere near Bluffton/HHI. Beer selection is incredible, service is always great, the owners are super nice and my family and I have shared many special occasions there. Love how they've expanded their menu and how they allow modifications. The bar is very clean and there are at least for TVs if you want to watch the games. Everybody is always having a good time and a grear lunch or dinner. read more

Rotation of craft beers and a well thought-out and creative menu. Smash burger is best we've found locally. Gluten-free options beyond just salads. Cheesesteak sandwich with beer cheese - also a favorite. read more

This is a definite go to when you are in the area. So many great beers and the price is right. I recommend the beer flight. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was phenomenal. The originality and quality is superb. I think Craft has the best potato salad I've ever had. read more

Great place for lunch in Old Town Bluffton area. Large selection of beers. Small, but quaint.

Craft Kitchen was a perfect find for us. Starting with the look of the building on the outside and in. It was so cute and modern. Loved the different seating options available, as well as the large my bar. We were greeted and seated as soon as we came in by the friendly ladies. Plenty of TVs to watch sports, cats, news, etc. We didn't want to be gluttonous and ordered the double Smash burger with fries, and an Arugula salad as well to share. Without even asking our attentive server knew to split our order up in to two servings which made for a perfect meal. The burger was cooked just right, the fries were delicious and the arugula salad is definitely one that we will come back for. Great experience in this small group, or family friendly establishment. We'll be back (in our terminator voice). read more

Food was so amazing!! We had the Sweet and Spicy Island burger, Cheesesteak, Smashburger, and the Classic Chicken sandwich with grilled chicken. For an app, we had a charcuterie board and bacon cheese fries. For dessert, we had all of the cheesecake and ice cream bites. It was all so amazing!! They even had plenty of gluten free and vegan options!! The atmosphere is very cool and the service was great. Definitely coming back, 10/10!! read more

Stopped in and glad we did. I like the vibe, service, prices, brew, and the smash burgers. Background music played perfect It's a small place so wait for a table it's well worth it. read more

Be aware, it's not posted but they close their kitchen 30 minutes before closing. So you won't be seated other than for drinks. Being from California that is not typical but it's a 24/6 place. Welcome to the South! Have been here many times and the food is really good, they let you sample the beer which is good. read more

We both had the smash burger and fries with iced tea. The burger was very good and the fries were crispy and hot. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the chicken Sandwhich. read more

We stopped here for lunch based on the reviews. We had the smashburger and a Cheesesteak. Fries were good. The food was good but not exceptional. We are not beer drinkers so coffee and iced tea were our drinks and they were good but I had to flag the waitress for a refill. Service was normal. Place was busy but it is small with limited seating and we waited a couple of minutes for a table to open around 1 pm on a Saturday. read more

Craft Kitchen is a super cute small restaurant in Bluffton. The restaurant fills up fast, so definitely be sure to take advantage of the outdoor seating if available or make reservations! I think the crowd was unexpected when we were there, as the servers were very busy and many people were waiting for tables on a Tuesday night! They had several gluten free options, and I did enjoy my grilled CK Chicken sandwich lettuce wrapped with ham, mustard (so good), and Swiss cheese! The sauce, the ham, the chicken, all combined they were such a great combo. Their fries were crunchy and delicious as well! Dad got the fish and chips which he enjoyed immensely! Mom got the black bean burger which held up nicely in the bun, and my kiddo devoured his burger in minutes once it hit the table! Hubby really enjoyed the spicy chicken sandwich and would get it again in a heartbeat. The knockout for me was the kale salad. I know...kale salad. I'm here raving about kale salad, but when the kale is tender, not overdressed, crunchy and flavorful with just enough cheese and candied walnuts (my weakness), I just could not stop eating it. I could eat a salad like that all day, especially on a hot summer day! I love the drink menu and all the different options they had in bottles, cans, and on tap. Service was fine, and the food was great all the way around! We can't wait to come back here again next trip! read more

Great little spot. Bartenders/servers were attentive and polite. Had the cheesesteak and enjoyed it.

The food and service were a great experience! We were seated quickly and our waitress was kind. She helped my husband find a beer that he would like and allowed him to try a recommendation she had. We decided to order fried pickles as an appetizer and they were delicious! I decided to order the spicy chicken sandwich and my husband got the sweet and spicy island burger and both were so delicious! The fries were seasoned well and tasted delicious as well. The inside consisted of tables and a long bar. The next time we are in this area, we will come back again. read more

Food was great. My daughter enjoyed a single smash burger, fries were light and very crispy, the way a French fry should be. I had a black bean burger topped with avocado and a great tasting creamy sauce to pour over the top. I opted for an arugula salad on the side which was lightly dressed (perfect). Draft beer choices are plentiful. Service was very good. Atmosphere is cute and quaint. Will definitely go again. read more

Impressive draft list, 5 pages if craft cans, etc. Food was good not great, like My scale a 3 but Yelp? A 4.5. Why does everyone on thus site think the most pedestrian shit deserves love? read more

My husband and I enjoyed a great dinner at Craft Kitchen. We had the spinach and artichoke dip served with warm pita bread. It was more than enough for two. I had the kale salad with scallops which was very flavorful. More than enough leftover for lunch. My husband had the chicken sandwich and fries. The fries are clearly fresh cut. The desserts look great but we were too full. Next time we will try to leave room. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful! read more

As with most food, it is probably better when eaten at the restaurant. The to go order was not correct and the fries were like crackers. Burger was "ok". Not something I would go back for. read more

Great service and great food!!! Went with friends and I had pita chicken sandwich. Fries were very good. Everyone enjoyed their lunch Simple not fancy but clean read more

This is a great place for drinks and good bar food. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. It is located just off of Bluffton Road. I would highly recommend going there for lunch or dinner. read more

Small but mighty menu. Excellent selection for anyone looking for cozy details in the atmosphere and food. Huge beer selection including many draft and can options. The beer menu organizes and presents helpfully to understand flavor options. The location is behind the outlet store's. I would recommend this local restaurant if you enjoy a good glass of beer and a chef putting care into the food. My fried chicken sandwich was battered well, the bun buttered and toasted, fries were fresh cut and fried so crispy perfect. Served w side of ketchup. Enjoy! read more

Craft Kitchen - Fried pickles w ranch and draft wheat beer - Gastropubs Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

An excellent dinner in a small brewpub type establishment. Craft Kitchen is located in the not so touristy section of Bluffton before you hit Old Town. I am sure based in their location they have a steady business lunch crowd. This place is tiny, with a sleek bar and TVs. There were a few outside tables as well. It was jammed on a Wednesday night in July which I found a bit surprising, they also seemed to have a brisk take out business, not a surprise for where they are. Great food and good beer are the stars here. I was able to find wifey a nice sweet beer she enjoyed enough to take another can home for another day (yes they sell cans to go). The only real complaint I have is when you first walk in you kinda have no clue where to go to get a seat if they are busy. Eventually you realize you go to the register by the bar, but it's not crystal clear. 8 to 10 beers on tap make the choices hard and so does the food menu. I opted for the southern chicken sandwich, prepared fried with pickles and pimento cheese. The bun held up well to the freshly fried chicken and the pickles were good as well. Buyer beware, people in the south can be pimento cheese snobs, and while I enjoyed this version on my sandwich perhaps some might like the spicier take on the spicy chicken sandwich. My wife got the Jersey burger, and I loved the bite she shared with me. The pork roll hit just right and the egg on top did not overwhelm the burger. I think the wife would have loved it just as a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich, sans the beef. An idea for a CK special perhaps? We started with zucchini strings, again obviously fresh not frozen. The ranch dipping sauce was the highlight on that for me. A great dinner with a friendly but perhaps short wait staff, as they looked like the kitchen could be in the weeds quickly, but we enjoyed ourselves and will be back, maybe for the fish and chips or the cheesesteak. read more

Got the smash burger, fries and iced tea. The food is ver good, iced tea is fresh and refreshing, the staff is very friendly and prompt. I highly recommend this place, sooo glad I didn't get drive thru!! Oh and check out how soft their dinner napkins are read more

I was looking forward to lunch here and everything was a bit cold. The air condition was on high too so that may be why.

Waitress recommended the fish and chips. Sure wish I looked at the price before I ordered it. $25 for mushy cod and luke warm french fries was outrageous! The coleslaw was good though. Smash burger was okay, but the meat had some pieces of gristle in it. Waitress was nice. read more

The food was really good for lunch we enjoyed it very much. The burger we chose was the choice we made kitchen job well done.

Great food and great cocktails and beer. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff and fun casual place.

Five stars on all counts. We were looking for a late lunch on our way to Hilton Head, and this place had great reviews - which it turns out are well-deserved! Greeted immediately and invited to sit wherever we liked, we chose the intimate but airy outside space. Our server was there very quickly with menus and ready to take our drink order and answer questions, which he did very well. My husband ordered the burger and I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, both of which came with fries. The burger came exactly as ordered, and my husband was happy with it. The chicken sandwich. Oh my god that chicken sandwich. It was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the condiments were delightfully creative and delicious. Order it just as it comes, pimento cheese and all. You won't regret it. The fries are delicious as well - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and delightfully seasoned. My husband's fries came plain, a thoughtful response by the kitchen staff to his onion allergy since the seasoning contains onion powder. The entire staff was charming and delightful, the food was delicious, and the ambience was lovely and relaxing. Fantastic experience on the first day of vacation and we can't wait to come back. read more

The service was great! A very cute spot that should have more love. The drink/beer menu has tons of options to choose from. The spicy chicken sandwich was delish, nice squishy bun. I do love their fries too, they taste very fresh. The Brussels sprouts and scallops dish taste wise was great. I would've liked a couple more scallops and a little less Brussels for the price too, but overall it was great!! Spinach artichoke dip was good, it could use a little more ~flavor~ and maybe chop the vegis a little more to make it GREAT. The warm pita bread is a good touch for sure. BUT nonetheless I'm being a harsh critic and a bit picky lol but absolutely will return to try out some more dishes and drinks!! :) definitely give this place a visit! read more

The chicken sandwich was amazing, they have the best homemade fries. The service was outstanding!

Recently went with family , party of six we had a minimal wait. While waiting had a few drinks - service at bar was excellent. When we were seated several servers assisted during our dinner. Very enjoyable experience, I highly recommend the brussel sprouts ( app) and fried pickles. Everyone enjoyed their meals . Definitely a solid choice for good food and great service. read more

There were not a lot of restaurants open in the area during lunch time but I am glad to have found this place. Service is good and pretty quick. Food is prepared well and fresh. Servings are huge! My husband loved the herb stuffed dates. A little heavy and rich but tastes really good. The Smash burger is a good size and can be shared. The Kale salad with scallops is my favorite. The scallops were a good size and cooked very well They also have a kids menu for which the servings were also pretty big! Ambiance is great and my daughter had fun watching the funny show at one of the screens! A fun place to visit with the kids! read more
